Duo Calixa Play Algodão doce by Celso Machado

Canadian flute and guitar ensemble Duo Calixa with Kelly Williamson (flute) and Mariette Stephenson (guitar) play Algodão doce by Celso Machado (b.1953). This comes via Stephenson’s YouTube channel. Machado is a Brazilian guitarist, percussionist, and multi-instrumentalist who lives in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada. I met Machado a number of times and seen his concerts which are amazing, some of the most fun I’ve ever had at concerts. Video by the great Drew Henderson.
